Imagine
If I loved you…
You would walk
On the moon,
Constantly float around
Whilst whistling obscure tunes.
_____________________
Your smile would
Light up the world,
Like the Sun at Noon.
The despair
For which
You always seemed
To prepare
for,
_____________________
Would be lifted
From your chest,
The rest
Of your unrest
Would vanish
Like nail polish
Scrubbed off with varnish.
_____________________
Imagine,
The love
That would
Envelope you,
You would forget
What all the others
Put you through.
_____________________
You would see
Those past losses
As mere beacons
Of light,
Shining through the night,
_____________________
Illuminating your hurried footsteps
To my doorstep.
_____________________
If I loved you,
You would never
Feel lost,
Because
You would know
Deep down,
That you were always home.
